VEHICLE LATERAL CONTROL DEVELOPMENT USING LASER RADAR TO DETECT REFLECTIVE LANE MARKERS

This paper presents a lateral control system which features the use of currently existing infrastructure elements such as reflective lane markers to provide a reference of the roadway ahead. A dynamic vehicle model including the tire characteristics and the steering actuator dynamics was developed to verify the performance of the lateral control algorithm. The paper reports on the ongoing development efforts to develop the lateral control system, especially the control algorithm and the results from highway tests which indicate that a vehicle with a lateral control system can be smoothly controlled using a discrete marker control algorithm.
